I'm reading the iTunes Connect Developer Guide as I'm trying to add a new application to iTunes Connect.
I'm a bit confused about the SKU number
which I should provide. On page 81 in the above developer guide they provide an example of their data for their application Orange Ball.
They have chosen Orange_Ball_01
for the SKU Number. What is the 01
indicating – that it is version 1? Why use underscore? Why not just type “OrangeBall”, if that SKU is not used?
Update notes:
- on January 23rd 2012, Apple changed the above example to application "Ball Maze" and SKU "com.apple.com.maze".
- a few years later, Apple changed the whole documentation, but you may refer to https://help.apple.com/app-store-connect/#/dev97865727c for a similar example with application "Adventure App" and SKU "Adventure123".
Best Answer
You are able to choose one that you like, but it has to be unique.
Every time I have to enter the SKU I use the App identifier (e.g.
de.mycompany.myappname
) because this is already unique.
